We are renaming this blog from "The Red Cloth" to "Pictures of Eva"




This is what we do on a Sunday evening when we don't have any friends or family to visit, we take pictures of our daughter. 









Eva Lily is almost four months old now. FOUR MONTHS!!! She can hold her head up and she can sit up with the help of a pillow, like the boppy. She loves sucking on her own hands, trying to cram the whole hand in her mouth at once is a special delight. She loves when her dad makes heavy metal guitar sounds and she likes to sit with mom and dad at night and read picture books. She hates to get dressed, mostly the part of having anything pulled over her head. She also doesn't like to be kept waiting when she's hungry.  She rolled over for the first time this week but I think that was due to her hating "tummy time" so much that she would do anything to get into a different position (including rolling over).  She's grabbing things with her hands and shoves everything in her mouth, especially anything made of fabric.  She likes to stay awake until 11:30 at night and wake up at 7:00 am. However, she is getting better at taking naps during the day.  She smiles all the time, especially right when she wakes up and right after she's done nursing.  She likes taking baths and she likes kicking her legs (especially in the bath and on the changing table).  She LOVES being on her changing table.  She can be crying murder but when we put her on the changing table she stops.  She also stops crying if you turn on a flash light or walk by a TV while holding her.  She appears to be easily distracted by shinny, bright, flashing things (just like her dad). She likes to snuggle. She will push her head into the crook of your neck when you are holding her. It is so sweet. She gets very impatient when breastfeeding. A NASCAR driver doesn't put up with a slow pit crew and Eva doesn't put up with any lag between switching sides or burping. She wants her milk and she wants it now!
She is wonderful to have in our lives.
